Emmanuel Mudiay = Childish Gambino

Curtis (@Curtisedge):

I would say Emmanuel Mudiay would be most comparable to Childish Gambino.

Both are not completely new to the game. Before Mudiay’s rookie season he had played basketball in China’s professional league on the Guangdong Southern Tigers.

    • Childish Gambino also wasn’t new to the game when his album Because the Internet was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 2015 Grammy Awards. Gambino had released an album titled Camp in 2011, as well as mixtapes like Royalty.

    Not only is their experience comparable, but also their careers can be correlated. Childish Gambino, also known as Donald Glover, has been apart of many projects like the television show Community or his comedy central stand-up Weirdo. Although all the projects were great, it seemed like Gambino never peaked to his full potential.

    Mudiay is in his second year, so obviously he has yet to peak, but we have seen flashes of great potential from him. This year for Mudiay it is his chance to show us what he is made of, like Gambino is doing in his new show on FX, Atlanta.

    Childish Gambino has teamed up with Chance The Rapper on songs like Favorite Song and Worst Guys. Gambino and Chance are a strong duo, similar to how Mudiay and Jokic should be this season!
